Northwestern University acknowledged today that an unusual demonstration was held on campus last week in which students observed a naked woman being penetrated by a sex toy.

The woman undressed and got on stage with her male partner, who used a device that looks like a machine-powered saw with a phallic object instead of a blade. Melvoin-Berg said the couple are exhibitionists who enjoy having people watch them have sex, and they were not paid for the demonstration.

I am the living embodiment of Underdog. I am an improvisational dancer and choreographer. A few years ago I was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome. I am known for my character portrayals, my costumes and for making many appearances on TV and in parades.

My first public performance was in 1976 in Philadelphia where I danced Dracula. From there I took up touring on stage and television. In 1980 I began appearing in science fiction conventions and costume sontests and become identified with TV cartoon superhero Underdog. Besides Underdog I am also known for doing Dracula, Supergirl and Catwoman. My self-created characters include Spectrum the Ghost King, Shelley the South Jesrey Mermaid and the Yellow Angel.

The tides, when the Moon swung closer, rose so high nobody could hold them back. There were nights when the Moon was full and very, very low, and the tide was so high that the Moon missed a ducking in the sea by a hair's- breadth; well, let's say a few yards anyway. Climb up on the Moon? Of course we did. All you had to do was row out to it in a boat and, when you were underneath, prop a ladder against her and scramble up. The spot where the Moon was lowest, as she went by, was off the Zinc Cliffs. We used to go out with those little rowboats they had in those days, round and flat, made of cork. They held quite a few of us: me, Captain Vhd Vhd, his wife, my deaf cousin, and sometimes little Xlthlx -- she was twelve or so at that time. On those nights the water was very calm, so silvery it looked like mercury, and the fish in it, violet-colored, unable to resist the Moon's attraction, rose to the surface, all of them, and so did the octopuses and the saffron medusas. There was always a flight of tiny creatures -- little crabs, squid, and even some weeds, light and filmy, and coral plants -- that broke from the sea and ended up on the Moon, hanging down from that lime-white ceiling, or else they stayed in midair, a phosphorescent swarm we had to drive off, waving banana leaves at them. ]]>

The Sambia male culture is obsessed with masculinity, and in particular with the idea that masculinity and fertility are not inborn in males. They share with other patriarchal cultures a strong taboo of menstruation and other feminine processes. They regard females as frightening contaminants, sort of as formidable viruses whose dangerous sexuality is inborn (a female will exhibit puberty sooner than a male, and with more organs; a female will always end up not-male). Whereas the young male must achieve masculinity (it is possible for a male to end up not sufficiently tough, i.e. not-male).

Since potency is not inborn for the male, he needs to acquire it physically, which is to say orally. He does this in addition to enduring physical torments to drive out any feminine taints such as floating menstrual specks that might spoil his tingu, his sexual repository that he is working on activating orally. The young male needs to acquire sperm to activate his tingu, and a lot of it. Like the ancient Chinese did, the Sambia perceive ejaculation into a vagina as draining of a finite life force. While heterosexual intercourse itself, and the siring of multiple children, is a necessary document of achieved manhood, it drains manhood -- thus much effort is put into stocking up the male's sexual core.

And so, as a young teenager the male Sambia must give older teenagers head regularly and swallow their semen, because it is the only way to get the element from nature. The penis of other young men is the only source from which potency can be acquired. This is embedded into other rituals of intense masculine/warrior proving and at one point it is expected for the young male to kill the warrior of a rival tribe and also drink his sperm, to steal that rival's man-sauce. ]]>

Between 1887 and 1892, John C.H. Grabill sent 188 photographs to the Library of Congress for copyright protection. Grabill is known as a western photographer, documenting many aspects of frontier life – hunting, mining, western town landscapes and white settlers’ relationships with Native Americans. Most of his work is centered on Deadwood in the late 1880s and 1890s. He is most often sited for his photographs in the aftermath of the Wounded Knee Massacre on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.

Jhonen Vasquez on why Invader Zim was cancelled. ... Along with some interesting descriptions of what it's like to make cartoons.

"The studio where our offices were served as a kind of showroom for Nickelodeon, not unlike when you go to a natural history museum and you can watch the archeologists and volunteers brush away dirt from fossils from behind a pane of glass or some such similar setup. Remember the section of Hammond’s tour in Jurassic Park, where the tour group is shown the genetic labs where the baby dinos are created, the busy scientists on display for all the visitors to point at or gawk at? That’s what certain days at the studio were like, with the guides walking groups of kids around to watch CARTOONS BEING MADE! Now I dunno if you’ve ever seen animation professionals at their trade, but the last people I’d wanna bring kids to see is some guy trying ever so hard to well up the strength to smile at some tiny strangers through his coffee sweat slickened face, sandwich bits clinging to the beard that wasn’t there yesterday when he got to work but is there now because he hasn’t been home, hasn’t, hasn’t showered or shaved, but is now trying to explain what he does to make the magic happen. Often I’d see such a person dig his fingers into a child’s shoulders and scream at them about how it’s all a sham, how it’s all so horrible and then collapse to the ground, already snoring as the smell from the excrement exploding from their slackened sphincters punches into the tour group’s faces."

This is the SANE part of the story. ]]>

Mayan crystal skull believed to have been owned by SS chief Heinrich Himmler discovered in Germany

by Greig Box-Turnbull, Daily Mirror 10/03/2011

A MYSTERIOUS crystal skull thought to have belonged to Hitler’s SS chief Heinrich Himmler has been discovered in Germany.The artefact, found resting on a beam beneath the roof of a house in a Bavarian village, has excited treasure hunters.They believe it may be part of a larger trove of bounty once owned by the most sinister man in Nazi Germany.Indications are that it was part of a series worshipped by ancient Mayan cultures in what is now Mexico – where, legend has it, the skulls are vital to stop the world ending next year.Himmler, who oversaw the extermination of Jews, was spellbound by myths and legends until his suicide after being captured by the British.He financed expeditions all over the world by Indiana Jones-type SS men seeking proof of the “supremacy” of Aryan man.

The skull, which weighs nearly 20lbs, is of the same design as the death’s head on the uniforms of Himmler’s henchmen.It was found in the home of an old lady once married to a high-ranking SS officer and is now in the hands of Swiss journalist Luc Burgin, who said: “I am 99% sure that this is one of the skulls of the Mayans, but we need clarity and all available tests will be carried out to ascertain authenticity.”It is believed a list of 35 other missing Nazi treasures was found with it.The Mayans shaped 13 crystal skulls, of which nine were coloured and represented the races of men and four were as clear as glass to represent “the beasts that walk, crawl, slide and fly”.They were sent to their places of “birth” until such time when all were needed to avert the catastrophe man would wreak on the planet.The Mayans, gifted astronomers and mathematicians, calculated a date for this “end of days” - the winter solstice, December 21, 2012.

Cognitive scientist Deb Roy blew the curve for Flip cam-packing proud pops. Since he and his wife brought their son home from the hospital, Roy has captured his every movement and word with a series of fisheye-lens cameras installed in every room. The purpose was to understand how we learn language.

Humans and chimpanzees share more than 97% of DNA, but there are some fairly obvious differences in appearance, behavior and intellect. Now, scientists are learning more than ever about what makes us uniquely human.

We know that humans have larger brains and, within the brain, a larger angular gyrus, a region associated with abstract concepts. Also, male chimpanzees have smaller penises than humans, and their penises have spines. Not like porcupine needles or anything, but small pointy projections on the surface that basically make the organ bumpy.

Ark Music Factory, the people behind the video, is a LA-based company ran by Patrice Wilson and Clarence Jay. They cater to wealthy parents with adolescent daughters (aged 13 to 17) who want to be pop stars. In their casting calls, they seek out young talent with no original material and produce auto-tuned music along with an accompanying video. Many of their videos (see City Sound Inertia for examples) are as laughably bad as Black’s, but not nearly as popular

Do-it-yourself quantum spooky action

How cool would it be not just to read about the craziness of quantum mechanics, but to see it—even better, do it—for yourself? Several years ago I asked virtuoso experimental physicist Paul Kwiat whether he could develop a simple demonstration anyone could do at home, and he and his undergraduate student Rachel Killmer came up with a "quantum eraser". This week I got to see another big step toward the era of quantum homebrewers. Tucked away in a booth in the exhibit tent at the German Physical Society conference, Munich-based start-up company qutools showed off the world's cheapest kit for seeing quantum entanglement: spooky action at a distance.

While researching for this article I came across a searing indictment by Clarke on the American capitalist system. After observing that the structure of American society may be unfitted for the effort that the conquest of space demands he continued, "No nation can afford to divert its ablest men into essentially non-creative and occasionally parasitic occupations such as law, insurance and banking". He also referred to a photograph in Life Magazine showing 7,000 engineers massed behind a new model car they had produced as ‘a horrifying social document'. He was appalled by the squandering of technical manpower it represented.

I have a friend who says that about Britain, and the City of London: he said that, "If Britain were like Germany, people who graduated with first class degrees would go to work in engineering firms in places like Bangor; but the [only] way to make money as an employee in Britain is to go and work in the City, in Finance." ]]>

Eurogamer explains why M.A.S.K. was popular in a game retrospective.

Basically, the heroes were pretty much... white trash.

"MASK was fairly square, actually. If Optimus Prime and his robo-buddies were the CIA of transforming toys, mysterious and slick, MASK would have been the Coast Guard. (I'm starting to realise why I preferred it now.)

MASK was made up of ordinary joes – hicks, for the most part, with names like Dusty Hayes and Hondo MacLean. These were names that might give the impression that you were actually dealing with a weary team of rodeo-clown-themed male prostitutes rather than an elite group of special agent types, protecting the world from menace.

Their headquarters was a gas station. A gas station! Their leader had an annoying kid and drove around in a white-trash muscle car – the kind of car my uncle Mike bought during a bad breakup.

And the hook for the series, the gimmick that made the whole thing special, was that they solved crime in their overtime. They were everyday losers with regular jobs. They were hobbyist heroes. Temps. They probably trooped over to the local Kelly's Services office every Friday for the free M&S lunch. " ]]>

If you watch Jurassic Park backwards, it’s the heartwarming tale of scientists and dinosaurs working together to build an amusement park. Then the people betray the dinosaurs, putting them in cages and ultimately flying back to Montana to bury any evidence they existed at all.

If you watch Leaving Las Vegas backwards, its about Nicolas Cage coming back from the dead and drinking so much alcohol that he becomes healthy again.

As Japan was violently assaulted, Christchurch crumbled and Queensland drowned, how many times did you hear a journalist say;"there are no words to describe what we are seeing here".Perhaps you heard; "I'm speechless. This just defies description".The ashen-faced reporters are both wrong and right.There most certainly are words to describe the current state of the world, and yet it is true they seem entirely inadequate.That is because journalists and the media they work for have squandered our best words with decades of hyperbole.

Netflix, the film and television subscription service, has taken a big step into territory dominated by broadcasters and pay-TV operators after entering exclusive talks to buy US rights to a new political series starring Kevin Spacey. Its bid could reach as high as $100m.

Each year, dozens of shows on network and cable television get cancelled. Most of these cancellations are for good reason. But every once in a while the hammer comes down on a show that’s considered to be a cult hit — or one that could turn out to be a real hit, if given more time. The problem, of course, is that these shows often don’t have the massive viewership numbers to sell a large amount of advertising against. But that model doesn’t apply to Netflix.While shows that are called “cult hits” are often thought of as mainstream flops, the reality is that they still have millions of people who watch them. And the “cult” aspect implies that a large percentage of those viewers are insanely loyal to the show. Again, that doesn’t mean much to the networks where more is better (for advertising), but for Netflix, if they could convert a significant percentage of those loyalists in to paying customers, it works.

Like Warren, I only see these in pictures. Never the real thing... ]]>

maaaaad!". It became so frenzied towards the end of last year that top ranking police and lawyers were exhibited, swearing on their mothers' lives that this wasn't the case and people should feel free to snap merrily away. There've probably been incidents but this idea belongs alongside "Winterval" as a Daily Mail "let's-provoke-a-knee-jerk-outrage-reaction" story.

If the-powers-that-be's biggest objection was the story being published online, I'd have thought some kind of legal waiver, signed by the parents, would have been enough to satisfy everyone; particularly as it's going to be published as a book shortly.

But you're right. So-called common sense falls victim to "better safe than sorry" absolutism way too often. ]]>

To date, this currently ongoing project has 1,875 applicants with 553 already tattooed.

The artpiece, which exists only on the Internet, can be accessed here.

After reading about the project and seeing a sample video, I idly wondered if Beloved Internet Jesus would be tempted to create a short comic story to be tattooed on the bodies of willing fans. Then again, certain problems came to mind. How many fans would be willing to have a panel of a Warren Ellis story tattooed on their body? How could you ensure that the tattoo artists drawing the individual panels a) would meet Ellis standards of quality and b) would not muck up the panel in execution? For that matter, what if a volunteer wanted a panel that clashed with what Ellis wanted in the script? Would those fans also form communities or would the mercenary urge to exploit their tattooed panel for personal profit assert itself? How would those who just want to read the story do so?

Ah well, one can speculate. ]]>

Radiation Hormesis. The Taiwanese example she cites was a poorly done study but the workers who were involved in the Windscale fire were studied until they died and I recall they had a lower rate of cancer than the local population, although being a small cohort it's not the sort of evidence that would get me standing near a nasty nuclear source. ]]>

Currently, the World Organisation for Animal Health recognizes countries to be in one of three disease states with regards to FMD: FMD present with or without vaccination, FMD-free with vaccination, and FMD-free without vaccination. Countries that are designated FMD-free without vaccination have the greatest access to export markets, and therefore many developed nations, including Canada, the United States, and the UK, work hard to maintain their current FMD-free without vaccination status. (wikipedia)

considering that the US hasn't had an outbreak of the disease since 1929, it's hard to critique the approach. on the other hand the UK had two bad outbreaks last decade with the same status.

on a related subject, if you eat pork raised in the US, this shouldn't disturb you. pigs raised in the US as pork wouldn't know the difference if they were buried alive.

Here's my new vid - a cover of a song by one of my favourite bands.The track is made live using a guitar, beatbox, voice and an RC-50 loop station.The reverb on the vocals at the end is off a Kaoss Pad which only features at the end for the reverb effect (u can see 2 but that's to do a different track we filmed after!)There's nothing prerecorded or added post recording, it's all live!

Police in southern Germany warned this week of a dangerous new form of alcohol abuse among teens – using tampons soaked in vodka to get drunk quickly and hide the smell. The practice poses grave health risks, they said.In early March a 14-year-old girl collapsed during a street festival in Konstanz, apparently highly intoxicated from using a vodka tampon, the paper reported.

Texas: The Brazoria County District Attorney's office has droppped the charge of negligent homicide against a woman who gave her husband a fatal sherry enema (SN reported) citing lack of evidence.The woman, 45-year-old Tammy Jean Warner, gave her husband two large bottles of sherry by enema in 2004. Her husband, 58-year-old Michael Warner, died as a result. His blood-alcohol content was 0.47.Her husband was unable to ingest sherry the conventional way due to a throat condition. According to Tammy Warner he was an enema addict who often used alcohol rectally. She denies causing the death.

“Hannah The Drunken Pianist”Cognac is her drink of choice, while silly little love songs are her song of choice. She drinks until the songs become sad, then stops.Handmade diorama box with elaborate gold frame with a double strength glass front. Inside is the life of Hannah, a happy little Taxidermy squirrel, used from recycled parts that have been professionally preserved and were not killed for this piece, rather saved from being discarded. She now lives on forever in her beautiful Victorian decorated living room with her prized piano and her cognac. She has a fireplace to keep her warm, and is dressed in a very sweet vintage dress. The walls are covered in beautiful gold and cream wallpaper. There is a light on the gold ceiling that is easily replaceable (comes with an extra bulb).

Turned out Moon had been consuming tranquilisers of the type you load into rifle darts and shoot at animals. Pete Townsend asked the audience if there was anyone who could play the drums - "someone good", and 19-year-old Pete Halpin's buddy pushed him up to the front. Halpin played out the final three songs, becoming the guy with the ultimate bull-session story whenever he went drinking with his mates.

So what if you met Mr T at the mall, or Harlan Ellison told you to fuck off, or Arnold Schwarzenegger once signed your t-shirt?

Scott Halpin played drums for The Who!
